Via Technologies Inc. on April 1 announced the Via BLISS (Bus Line In-Seat System) Platform, a customizable Android-based turnkey solution for creating an immersive travel environment that transforms the bus passenger experience by providing them with personalized entertainment, information, and communication services throughout their journey.
Combining a choice of all-in-one 7” and 10.1” Android display systems with a video-on-demand server and networking system, the Via BLISS enables passengers to watch TV and movies, listen to music, surf the Internet and play interactive games from the comfort of their bus seat. It also features a device management system (DMS) that enables operators to remotely monitor, control, and update content and devices over-the-air (OTA).
“For many years the use of in-seat entertainment systems has been mainly confined to air travel, but now passengers are demanding the same types of services in all modes of long-distance transportation.” said Richard Brown, vice president of global marketing, Via Technologies Inc. “With the Via BLISS Platform, our aim is to help bus manufacturers and operators meet this new demand by providing a complete, customizable solution that is convenient to install and manage.”
